In the cliffs South of Newcastle beach is the Bogey Hole. It was cut into ocean rocks by convict labour in 1819. You can see the convicts amazing achievement when you see the waves crashing into the pool.

The Bogey Hole was constructed by order of Commandant Morisset in about 1820 for his own personal use. Morisset was Commandant of Newcastle from 1819 to 1822. It was known, originally as the “Commandants Baths”.
